Answer:
$604,000
Explanation:
Given that,
                                   Opening            Closing
Inventory                   $112,000           $133,000 
Accounts payable     $55,000           $64,000
Cost of goods sold = $592,000
Cost of goods sold = Opening stock + Purchases - Closing stock
Purchases = Cost of goods sold - Opening stock + Closing stock
                   = $592,000 - $112,000 + $133,000
                   = $613,000
Bramble’s 2017 cash payments to suppliers:
